Indie Artist Silent Child Lands on Monstercat with 'Paranoid Optimist'

**Atlanta-based indie artist Silent Child takes his talents to Monstercat with the release of his five-track EP, Paranoid Optimist.**

As artists continue to blur the line between indie and electronic music, one who is beginning to make some serious waves is Silent Child. Based out of Atlanta, this multi-talented artist has put his immense abilities as a producer and vocalist on display on a number of occasions including the release of his Tortured Thoughts EP in 2021. Now, he’s set his sights on Monstercat for his latest body of work, Paranoid Optimist.

Out now across all platforms, Paranoid Optimist doesn’t just feature five fresh tunes from Silent Child but also explores the struggles he faces on a daily basis. Over the years he’s battled his own mind while also managing Asperger’s and ADHD along the way, yet the results have been nothing short of magic as he blends elements of hip-hop, rock, and electronic together like a melting pot of music goodness.

My word, when speaking to or about myself, really doesn’t hold much weight to me. Everyone tells me that I’m going to be something great or that my music is amazing, but the results I’m used to seeing in myself are failure. Over the years it’s gotten better and I’ve become more optimistic, especially with this new project, but things have moved so far and so fast that my paranoia is at an all-time high. This EP is me saying that I’m going to take the leap of faith and believe in the positive future that everyone thinks I will have. I’ll try not to look back too much, I’m here for the journey.

Tracks on Paranoid Optimist like “Hate U/Miss U” with Lucky Daye and “1975” lean heavier into the alt-pop, indie rock side of the spectrum with the catchy beats and lyrics that Silent Child crafted up. Others, like “Perfect” and “Psycho,” see the Atlanta-based artist add in electronic flourishes that include some future bass drops that will have anyone who listens vibing along with them. The EP’s final tune, “Ozone,” is a solid finisher for this collection as Silent Child teams up with CRÈME to concoct a vibe-inducing ride that’s filled with plenty of relatable charm.
